A/N; This chapter was suppose to be Petunia arguing with Vernon, Petunia wins and they go and get the kids, but when I wrote it, it sort of wrote itself, and this is what I got, and since I need a break from what I wrote, the next chapter is Harry learning about Lillian and Petunia.
Once little thing, if you put me on alert, and got a new story I just posted, that was just a test, since an hour ago I tried to log in and found all my stories gone, so I tried to create a new story, and it too didn't appear on my list, only now I'm back in and had erase that story.
Also I don't own Harry Potter and please review.
Number 4 Private Dr
On the last morning of her stay, a messy red hair child entered the kitchen to hear her temporary Guardians arguing. "Vernon dear I don't know why you are upset, the social worker did say the family would not be able to pick up the child until sometime after dinner." Petunia reminded her not too happy husband as they both sat at the table.
"And how late that is since we still don't have a time, the ungrateful family probably stalling so they won't need to take care of that brat." Vernon argued as he pounded the table. "Don't they realize our son will be coming home from school today, as well as that ungrateful freak, so we don't need another mouth to feed?" Vernon now spat out as his not so happy wife look not so nicely at him.
"I don't see why you are so worry about food cost, since the amount they gave us to watch over Lillian is more then enough to pay for over a month worth of groceries." Petunia argued as her husband face went red.
"Food cost, food cost, that barely covers our son's birthday presents, and you know he will want more then last year!" Vernon shouted as whimper got their attention and both adults turned to a scared looking child.
"Lillian did we wake you?" Petunia worriedly asked, as the child looked down.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble, I'm sure my family will get me before I am a burden to your family." Lillian quietly apologized before rushing back to her room with tears falling.
A moment after the child left her aunt tried to follow to comfort the girl, but her husband grabbed her. "I don't know why you care about that Orphan, she is just as bad as that Freak we were force to take in." Vernon spat as his wife shrugged her arm free.
"I do care about Lily because she is Heaven sent, and you know I always wanted a daughter." Petunia argued as her husband stood from where he sat.
"That girl reminds you of your dead sister, is that why you care?" Vernon shouted as his wife looked to him.
"Yes Lillian does remind me of Lily before we drifted apart Vernon, and I'm happy for the chance to relive those days before I became bitter towards my sister." Petunia now shouted at her husband. "And not only had that Lily shown me that we were wrong about Harry…" Petunia started to say, but was cut off by a slap to her face.
"That girl bewitch you Petunia, you were always was against That Boy!" Vernon shouted in rage, as his wife looked in horror at what he did. "That it, that Girl is one of them in that case I know how to deal with those types." Vernon smiled evilly as he left the kitchen.
It took a moment for the enrage husband wife to realize what he meant, and knew she had to do something and rushed to the phone. "Come on, hurry up and pick up the line." Petunia begged as he heard some rings, before a voice sounded on other line.
"Scotland Yard, how can I help you today?" A pleasant female voice sounded.
"I need help, my husband is on the rampage and he going to hurt an Orphan we are looking after for the last week, please you got to send someone to stop him!" Petunia cried into the phone.
"Please come down, and tell me where you live I will send someone immediately." The voice calmly suggested, and the scared wife quickly complied. "Not worry Mrs. Dursley I got someone on the way, they are only minutes away." The voice assured the wife, just as a hard knock sounded on the door, she quickly drop the phone and rushed to the door.
At the door, a couple large constables were standing as the wife opened the door. "Please you got to do something about my husband before he hurt Lily, he is upstairs!" Petunia begged as the officers quickly pass her, and found an out of control husband was about to slam his shoulder into a closed door.
"Hold it right there Mr. Dursley, we are not going to allow you to hurt anyone." One of the officers firmly ordered, as the enrage husband looked to them.
"I don't know why you care, that girl is nothing more then a Freak!" Vernon shouted as he madly lounged at the officers but trip in the process, giving the officer's time to subdue and handcuff him.
Soon the officers were bringing a struggling husband downstairs to where his wife stood. "You traitor, when I get out you will pay for this!" Vernon yelled in rage, as he struggled against the officers.
"I'm no longer afraid of you Vernon, and expect a divorce, since I now know we were never meant to be together." Petunia bravely informed her husband.
"You can't do this…" Vernon shouted as the officers dragged him away to the awaiting patrol car.
After taking a few statements from the wife, the officer looked to her. "Mrs. Dursley will you be alright now, or you would need any help." The officer worriedly asked a slowly calming soon to be widow.
"I will be once I check on Lillian she got to be frightened by what Vernon did." Petunia worriedly informed the officer, as she looked upstairs.
"Do you need someone to be here, I can someone to come by later." The officer suggested, but Petunia shook her head.
"I will be fine, and plus I need to get my son from Smeltings in a couple hours, and then later my Nephew from the train station." Petunia informed the officer.
"Then in that case, I will be off and here is my card, if you need anything please don't hesitate to call me." The officer calmly suggested before leaving the house.
With the officers gone, the aunt sighed as she closed her door and lean on the doorframe. "Maybe this was meant to be." Petunia cried into her hands, but stopped as a soft voice sounded.
"Aunty Petunia, are you alright?" A frighten Lillian ask, as her aunt gulp down a sob.
"Yes dear, I will be now." Petunia sighed as she looked to the child.
"This is my fault isn't it, uncle wouldn't be mad if I came…" Lillian started crying causing her aunt heart to sink.
"No Lily you were never the cause of our problems." Petunia assured the distraught child as she came up to her to hug her. "Vernon could never control his temper, so almost anything can get him raging mad." Petunia sadly informed a slowly calming child, as she led her to the couch, so both could sit down.
"But he was mad at me I must have done something wrong?" Lillian sniffed as she looked scared, her aunt placed her in her lap to wrap her arms around the child.
"No you didn't Lily, you are a well behave child, and I doubt there is nothing you can do wrong." Petunia assured the child as she gave her a comforting hug. "The only one that done wrong was Vernon, he had no right to get mad at you." Petunia assured a slowly relaxing child.
"Thank you for being my aunt, I wish I didn't need to leave here." Lillian tiredly informed her teary eye aunt, before falling asleep in her arms.
"I wish you didn't need to leave me too." Petunia sadly thought as she sat hugging the child.
Spirit Realm
A large man sighed as he open his eyes to look to a young dark hair woman. "That was fast thinking placing a false burglary near the home the officers would have never made it in time." Lord Kami sighed in relief.
"I know my lord, and even though this went according to plan, I'm still mad at Lady Fate for deciding to put Lillian in Petunia care to give her a second chance." Lady Reaper angrily informed her Lord.
"A second chance which turned Petunia life around Lady Reaper, which I know her sister and a few others is happy to hear." Lord Kami calmly informed the young woman.
"I guess you are right, but I better get down there and try to help, since Lillian is my charge." Lady Reaper suggested but her Lord stopped her before she could leave.
"Lady Reaper if you must I will give you permission to tell Petunia the truth about Lillian." Lord Kami suggested, and with a nod, the woman was gone.
Living Realm
For unknown amount of time, the doorbell rang startling the adult comforting a sleeping child. "Oh who could that be?" Petunia thought as she carefully laid the child on the couch, and went to the door.
At the door, the aunt was worried as she saw a woman whom she only met a couple times. "Mrs. Reaps, I guess you heard what happen." Petunia worriedly asked a grim looking woman.
"I did, and not to worry I'm not upset or going to press charges against you." Lady Reaper assured the now calming aunt. "But can I come in and see Lillian please." Lady Reaper calmly asked.
"Of course Mrs. Reaps, Lillian is sleeping on the couch, she was upset at the events that occurred earlier." Petunia sadly informed an understanding woman.
"Anyone would be from what I heard." Lady Reaper assured the aunt, as she placed a hand on the sleeping child. "Lillian is a strong young woman, she will be worried, but she will alright in time." Lady Reaper suggested as she sighed in relief at seeing the child all right for herself.
"That she is, and I'm more then happy to have her in my life, even if it was for a short time." Petunia sadly informed the young woman.
"Actually Mrs. Dursley about that, I can try talk her family about you babysitting Lillian once in a while if you are interested?" Lady Reaper suggested as hope shines in the aunt's eyes.
"But I really don't want to intrude into their family, and plus they might not want me anywhere near Lillian if they learn what just happen?" Petunia quickly dismissed the idea, but the young woman shook it off.
"The family will be upset, but I know for sure they would be more upset at your husband behavior towards their charge, then you the person whom had saved Lillian's life, so they will owe you their gratitude." Lady Reaper assured the aunt with a promise.
"If you say so Mrs. Reaps, but still I would like to ask the family myself." Petunia gulped at the thought of seeing her charges family
"Of course Mrs. Dursley but since the family won't be here till late in the evening, I could stay and help you if you want?" Lady Reaper suggested, and the aunt nodded, knowing she will need help getting back her life back in order.
"Actually I would love to have you for company, and maybe if its not a bother can you accompany me to get my son and nephew later in the day." Petunia asks with hope in her eyes.
"Of course Mrs. Dursley, I would love too, and plus I should stick around Lillian after the events in question." Lady Reaper suggested, and with a grim look the aunt nodded as she left for the kitchen to get a pot of tea ready for her guest
